thePROJECT & Sydney Trip Pt II

Eeek, done it again, terribly behind on the project.  So, I was away for 5 days, however where I was there were 5 GORGEOUS children, all happy to help me out with thePROJECT.  So instead of making it about seeing the Iphone clearly, it was about these gorgeous Keeys children.  BUT, my children are STILL in the images, just not that clearly!!

Sydney trip Pt I

Well I recently dashed off to Sydney.  It was HUMID (by the way you will see me write this SEVERAL times… just for the heads up!)  The main reason I was there was to give the lovely Amanda a hand photographing her brothers wedding.  Not sure why she needed help, but hey, I wasn’t going to say no;) I mean honestly, who needs help when it’s a) your brothers wedding, b) you have a 7 month old baby, c) the older 4 children there as well?  I think she just wanted me there for my lovely company:P

Ok enough joking aside… and we’ll get to the wedding images later, but for now, day one of the trip.  After enjoy a lengthy sleep in (very much deserved since it was SUCH a long trip on a plane – a whole hour and I was lucky to be feeling important in seat 1A hehe) we ventured to the shops (in the humidity) to buy some last minute wedding supplies then convinced young Lilly to help us out for some photos, OUTSIDE of the air conditioned comfort … yep it was HUMID.   Well as her mother says, point a camera at Lilly and then she’s done.  No prize winning photography here by me, but aren’t they CUTE!?

Ok can you tell what she’s thinking?

“ARE YOU QUITE FINISHED?”  ah yes, the pressure that comes from being a photographers child….

collage 4Told you I was going to complain about the humidity.  Did you know it was apparently more humid that Friday in Sydney than in North Queensland?  Well it was:P So I have the right to complain! hehe

till next Sydney installment xx

Miss E, 10 weeks new – Melbourne Baby Photography

This gorgeous lil girl was ten weeks on the day of our session, and it started out to be a rather gloomy day! (Weather wise)

Miss E had THE cutest facial expressions, and whilst I’m not really a fan of Elvis, I cannot get over the “Elvis” facials that babies do!

I hope you enjoy the preview Mum & Dad!

Mr R, 10 days new – Melbourne Newborn Baby Photography

Well, this lil guy was an ANGEL!  Barely heard a peep out of him!  I could have photographed him all day, in fact on numerous occasions I think I mentioned that he could stay forever, but as Mum said, she’ll keep him cause he’s a superstar.  Yes he was.  A total superstar!

And have to say a big thanks to Mum & Dad for the chocolates! (I think they were gone about two hours after you left!)

I hope you enjoy the preview, I couldn’t choose, so here’s a BIG post! x

Miss H, 6 weeks – Melbourne Baby Photography

I photographed Miss H’s big sister nearly 3 years ago (yes time really does fly that quickly!)  when she was also 6 weeks old.  Mum had told me how different they were in personality, and she was definitely right!

Miss H loves her cuddles, and also the noise of the vacuum!

I hope you enjoy your preview Mum & Dad (and big sis!) Your gallery will be available soon!

thePROJECT – Melbourne Child Photography

Feb 2nd – Eman’s Kinder orientation, he met his new friend Mr. L.  Look out, I think these two might be trouble!!  After Kinder, we took the boys for icecream, and they RAN around the shops like tornados!  When we TRIED to go shoe shopping, Eman took a liking to the display, where he BURNED his finger on the light.  Massive blister!

FEB 2

Feb 3 – Eman was meant to go with his brother to Daycare, however he DID NOT WANT TO GO.  So instead he spent most of the day in his room.  After a much needed nap, we took some “photobooth” style photos..  the MANY faces of Eman…

Feb 3Feb 4th – Was his OFFICIAL first day of Kinder.  He and Mr. L, ran up to each other and had a massive hug (so cute)..  And off he went.  I took these just before we left the house.

As the project is all black & white photos, I took this, however HAD to show a colour one of his “uniform”.

thePROJECT – Feb 1st

When I get the vacuum out (basically every day unless I’m feeling particularly lazy, and no I’m not brilliant at housework but our floor looks like it’s never been done unless it’s done everyday) the boys go APE.  ”it’s my turn, it’s my turn” you hear from Eman, or protesting grunts in the case of Ash.  Eventually they get bored and it’s MY TURN.

Wonder if when they are older and would actually CLEAN the floor if it will still be fun?  I’m dreaming aren’t I?

A day in the Garden – Melbourne Family Photography

Today I was preparing an Album for a client, and realised that in the craziness that was the end of last year, this session never graced the blog!  Well I’m fixing that situation right now!

This GORGEOUS family’s session was postponed a few times, due to little ones being unwell, then Mother Nature deciding it wasn’t the right time, but I think the wait was worth it as the weather on the day was just amazing!

Enjoy!
